An Audience with Ian Shaw

This was a chance to get up close and personal with Ian Shaw, widely recognised as one of the greatest jazz voices of the age. It was a premium event with luxury seating, a full table service with food from Pizza Express above Hidden Rooms, with cocktails & drinks from the superb Hidden Rooms.
Ian Shaw was voted 'Best Jazz Vocalist' at the BBC Jazz Awards in 2007 and 2004, and nominated in the Best UK Vocalist category at the JazzFM awards in 2013. Numerous highly acclaimed albums have cemented his reputation as a top flight performer in both the UK and US. He has been cited as one of the world's finest male jazz vocalists. Current release, 'A Ghost In Every Bar, The Lyrics Of Fran Landesman' has been exceptionally well received internationally and fulfilled a long-standing promise made to the late poet/lyricist to make an album devoted to her work. Ian was one of her favourite singers and his discography includes many of her songs. Accompanied by the very talented Jamie Safiruddin. An excellent evening all round, and I hope my pictures capture the atmosphere of this very special event.
